DEAD BY WEDNESDAY Drops Post-Apocalyptic Music Video for “Wasteland” & Announces a Special Hometown “Throwback” Show

Metal titans DEAD BY WEDNESDAY (D.B.W.) have unleashed a thrilling new post-apocalyptic music video for their track "Wasteland," a raw and adrenaline-fueled anthem from their latest Capital Conspiracy album, now available worldwide on Mindsnap Music / Combat Records, distributed by Von Artists, Ltd. (The Orchard). Inspired by the desolate yet captivating setting of the Mojave Desert in California, the band crafted this intense song, and coincidentally, some footage was shot at the renowned "Wasteland Weekend" festival, an event synonymous with post-apocalyptic fervor held annually in late September.

What makes this video even more amazing is that DEAD BY WEDNESDAY penned and recorded "Wasteland" before their gripping performance at last year's Wasteland Weekend, adding an extra layer of cosmic connection to the experience. Jessica Spinelli's expert production and cinematography, coupled with Gary Sandler's deft editing, have brought this auditory journey to life visually, capturing the essence of the wasteland realm in vivid detail. Additionally, the inclusion of footage courtesy of Wasteland World amplifies the video's authenticity and immersive quality.

Check out the new “Wasteland” video below.

In some other amazing DBW news, the band has announced a “Now & Then” set happening at their annual “OPUS” BLIZZARD BASH 2024!” This extraordinary all-day, all-age extravaganza will take place on Saturday, January 13th, at the iconic Toads Place venue in their hometown of New Haven, CT.

The band is set to deliver a groundbreaking performance, splitting their live set into two parts. The first half will showcase the current DBW lineup, which has been steadfastly captivating audiences with songs from their recent 2023 album, Capital Conspiracy.

But the excitement doesn't end there. For the second half of the show, DBW will reunite the original old-school crew, featuring Opus' cousins, Ceschi & David Ramos, who were instrumental as co-founding vocalists. This reunion will transport fans back in time as the band revisits the era of Dead By Wednesday's inaugural album, Democracy is Dead.

OPUS, Drummer of Dead By Wednesday, Releases Innovative 80’s New Wave Turned Metal Solo Album Titled REVAMPED! OUT NOW!

REVAMPED is a creative, fun and innovative new take on select 70’s and 80’s tunes. The record features mostly new wave remakes from the likes of Berlin, Missing Persons, Eddy Grant, and more, but also mixed in with some classic rock bands like The Rolling Stones and Blue Oyster Cult!

"These songs were hand picked from the soundtrack of our youth, the playlist that many grew up with and enjoyed. These are tunes that shaped an entire generation but then we literally just remade or better yet “revamped” them, all while keeping the integrity and essence of the original still throughout. REVAMPED updated the production on the classics and made all 11 songs more 2023 and well, a bit more metal too!" says Gerald Edward Pawlik, Executive Producer.

Available worldwide on physical and digital streaming & downloadable platforms via Mindsnap Music / Combat Records / Salt of the Earth(distributed by Von Artists Ltd./The Orchard) and at Tower Records stores. There is a limited edition cassette tape with download card available as well. For more info email: OMindsnap@aol.com

Grab the new solo album Opus’ REVAMPED (Vol. 1) here: https://orcd.co/revamped_vol1

Listen/watch the debut single along with the new visualizer video for the REVAMPED cover of the Richard Marx song “Should’ve Known Better”. The cover was even endorsed by the man, Grammy award and multi-platinum recording artist, Mr. Richard Marx himself. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/iaTZsVUKXuM

Grab the single NOW here: https://orcd.co/re-vamped_shouldve-known-better

The debut REVAMPED (Vol. 1) features Opus, the drummer of Dead By Wednesday & Earth (former Ellefson, Altitudes & Attitude & Gargantua Soul of the 90’s), along with studio guitarist/solo artist and super shredder Joey Concepcion, both who performed & recorded all the music on this album. It was mixed and mastered by Nicky Bellmore (Dee Snider/Jasta/kings & liars) at Dexters Lab Recording in CT. The combination of Opus and Joey C. was also the duo responsible for the making of the ground breaking guest vocalist album Darkest of Angels by Dead By Wednesday, which came out on David Ellefson’s former EMP Label Group, and featured Brian Fair (Shadows fall), Eric AK (Flotsam & Jetsam), John Arch (Fates Warning), Rob Dukes (x-Exodus), Ceschi Ramos (Codefendants/x-Dead By Wednesday), Waylon Reavis (A Killers Confession/x-Mushroomhead) & many more.

“We might have gone too far with some of these cover tunes but we don’t care! It was so fun remaking these songs for the creation of this album!” says Joey Concepcion.

“Growing up a die hard metal head, I used to snub & hate on new wave music. Why? I don’t really know. I think partially it was my being “cool” age & also what heavy metal stood for at the time… sort of rebellion to all things main stream. However, I’ve always liked all different styles of music & feel that this is what makes a musician better & stronger. Lately, I’ve been vibing on some old school 80’s stuff… Which leads me to why I wanted to do this album," adds Opus.

OPUS, Drummer of Dead By Wednesday & Owner of the Successful Indie Label Mindsnap Music has Released a New Book

Christian F. Lawrence, known as “Opus”, the drummer and back bone of Dead By Wednesday, who also plays & tours with David Ellefson, Hail the Horns, & Earth has released an autobiography about his crazy life. The book talks about touring, recording, hanging with celebrities, being a reality TV actor, and even a stint on MTV!

Read about all this, plus learn about some taboo branches on his family tree, as well as some unbelievable twists and turns life has thrown at him, in his first book break when I’m DEAD.

The title break when I’m DEAD was taken from a DBW song off their DOA album. The book was co-written by Doug Esper who worked with Chuck Mosley of Faith No More. It features interviews and intakes by Bumblefoot (ex-Guns n’ Roses), David Ellefson (formerly of Megadeth), Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, Eric AK from Flotsam & Jetsam and many more metal giants in the rock n roll industry. The cover photo was shot courtesy of music icon Michael Alago and then designed by Melody Myers.

The book was published by Scout Media, which was established in 2013 and is an independent publishing company for aspiring authors and musicians. They have put out books so far for Jesus Jones, Dog Fashion Disco, & more! Check them out here: http://www.scoutmediabooksmusic.com/

You can pre-order & get the autobiography officially out NOW!!!

To pre-order the paperback:

The book will also be available at all Barnes & Noble and Walmarts everywhere!!

"Break when I’m DEAD chronicles Opus and his trials and tribulations through touring, recording, and writing music, as well as his stint as a reality show star and the journey of being a father through an uncertain era of politics and a pandemic. Journey along with Opus to discover some of his unusual life and personal events, as well as a shocking family tree," says Brian Paone (Scout Media).

"I’m super stoked on finally releasing my new book and ad author to my list of accomplishments. This has been a long process and in the works for a while so I’m glad it finally came into fruition. Everyone thinks they have an interesting life that should be in a book, well this is not just a stroke my own ego type book at all, I think a lot of people who read can not only relate, especially if you’re a musician but will be very surprised by some of the content. It’s always been a dream of mine to write a book and finally it’s done! I’d like to personally thank everyone involved who helped me make this a reality!" says Opus (drummer of DBW).

About Opus:

“Music is either in your blood, or it's not.” An adage by which Connecticut native Christian “Opus” Lawrence has become known for. From the first moment he heard the menacing and plodding rhythms of KISS's “God of Thunder” roar through his speakers, he knew he would dedicate his life to creating music. Immediately drawn to the hard intensity of the drums, Opus purchased his first kit when he was 11, using money he earned from a paper route. Influenced by such greats as Vinnie Paul, Dave Lombardo, Stuart Copeland, John Bohnam and Tommy Lee, he submerged himself in his art, and tasted his first success as a musician while playing in the alternative metal band, Violent Industry. While drums remained his first love, Opus wanted to conquer all aspects of songwriting, and taught himself guitar as he continued to play out as a drummer.

In 1997 he formed Gargantua Soul with singer Kris Keyes, and spent the next decade creating a cult following as the 7-piece nu-metal/hard rap-rock group produced 3 albums and toured the country. Gargantua Soul was the only unsigned band to play Woodstock '99, and they appeared on such shows as VH1's Farm Club, Howard Stern Show, and on ESPN to name a few.

After the band broke up in 2005, Opus went on to create the heavy metal band Dead by Wednesday with his cousins. His drumming evolved into a more aggressive style, though still holding onto the groove and finesse he had become celebrated for. His skills being sought after, Opus has acted as a hired touring drummer for Soulfly guitarist Marc Rizzo's solo project, and 80's platinum selling artists The Bullet Boys from LA.

Dead by Wednesday continues to conquer the metal world, having shared the stage with such legends as Shadow's Fall, Rage Against The Machine, Flotsam and Jetsam and Hatebreed. Throughout this melodic timeline, Opus always composed his own personal music using his guitar and vocals. Influenced by a vast style of musicians, including Alice in Chains, Cat Stevens and Pink Floyd, it is through his acoustic music that he is able to tap into a more emotional aspect of his craft.

In 2014, he decided to tread on a new waters and recorded his first solo acoustic CD, _Opus Unplugged_. He took his solo act on the road, incorporating his repertoire of cover songs. He soon played sold out shows opening for Zak Myers of Shinedown, Sevendust (unplugged), for both Scott Ian's (Anthrax) and Dave Ellefson's (Megadeth) spoken word tours, and toured nationally with Sean Danielson of Smile Empty Soul. This multi-talented artist has continuously searched for various outlets to express his creative nature, adding acting to his extensive resume, and has appeared on film and various cable reality shows. While he loves the energy he experiences from the crowd through playing the drums with his bandmates, his acoustic music allows him to connect with his fans on a new profound and intimate level.

People all over are talking about the new DEAD BY WEDNESDAY album Capital Conspiracy.Check out what Gary Holt (guitarist for Exodus & Slayer), Eddie Trunk, & Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage has to say about Capital Conspiracy here:

https://youtu.be/kSEPRGb8fls

“This album is a roller coaster ride of emotions. These emotions range from grief of a loved one or a passion, struggles with love and life, to current affairs in both the world and our country regarding both social and governmental affairs. To me, it was an opportunity to tell a story to the world and to share a perspective that many wouldn’t or couldn’t picture or relate to. This album is raw emotion in its purest form," says Esteban Alvarez, the vocalist for the band.

Be on the lookout for a full feature, interview and album review coming out in the July issue of Outburn Magazine!

Mindsnap Music presents the return of Puerto Rico’s Latin metal pioneers PUYA

All original members, with very special guests DEAD BY WEDNESDAY. The two bands will be invading Florida for three dates this upcoming June.

PUYA have begun tracking some new material. The band has reunited with frontman Sergio Curbelo and has added percussion from Oscar Santiago (ex-Ill Niño). The new songs will be engineered by Jarrett Pritchard (1349, Goatwhore) while Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed) will mix and master with Miguel "Mick Blazzing" Blasini as Executive Producer.

“Hey, this is PUYA coming straight to ya Florida! We are super excited about invading Florida this summer! We came to Jarrett Pritchard in Orlando to record our new record on 2inch tape and the one & only producer Zeuss will be mixing it! Enjoy this new single that was recorded during the pandemic called “Potencial “ and our new video to support it! We will see you with our great friends DBW on this Summer Invasion coming straight to FL!!!” says Eduardo Paniagua, PUYA drummer.

“I grew up listening to these guys since they were on Atlantic Records and playing Ozzfest so not only is it an honor to be opening up for them on their debut return in the states with my band DBW, but I’m happy to also say that I’ll be working with them on many different levels as well in the future. Great bunch of guys and a very talented band!!!!!!!! We will be working on taking over the world once again with their unique style & original sound!” adds Opus, DBW & ELLEFSON drummer.

PUYA is widely known as the most prominent Latin metal band historically to come out of the Caribbean. For over two decades they have built a loyal fan base all over the world with their unique blend of metal, which has earned them the respect and admiration from the music industry as well as their faithful followers world wide.

Since the early 90's PUYA has set themselves apart with their unique brand of Latin metal by blending aggressive power riffs with traditional Latin rhythms, which has given PUYA their own identity. The band was founded in 1990 by guitarist Ramon Ortiz and bassist Harold Hopkins. Soon after drummer Eduardo Paniagua joined the group and singer Sergio Curbelo joined the band two years later, completing the original line up. Since 1995, PUYA has been releasing original music. From their self titled indie release under Noiz Boiz Records to major releases like Fundamental(1998), produced by Gustavo Santaolaya (Molotov, Juanes), which won the band Billboard and ASCAP awards and Union (2001), produced by Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers) under MCA Universal. The band quickly became a powerful national act and a staple in the Latin rock world. PUYA formed part of mayor tours such as Ozzfest 99', Snocore 2000, Red Hot Chili Peppers (Californication tour) and Iron Maiden (Ed Hunter tour)among many others.

PUYA returned to the stage by headlining festivals in the late 2000's and busting out independent releases such as their EP Areyto, the live DVD Pa Ti En Vivo and their live album Vital. In February 2020 their new single "Viento" was released on all digital platforms. The band is looking forward to hit the stage again with their original recipe, Sergio Curbelo- vocals, Ramon Ortiz-guitar, Harold Hopkins-bass, Ed Paniagua-drums, and Oscar Santiago-percussion.

D.B.W. (DEAD BY WEDNESDAY) is a international American 4 piece heavy metal group from New Haven, CT. Established in 2006 by drummer Opus, (ex-Gargantua Soul & current U.S. touring drummer for David Ellefson of Megadeth & Altitudes & Attitude featuring Frank Bello of Anthrax). Out the box, they quickly caught the attention of Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) who went on to release their debut through his label, Stillborn Records. They’ve released one EP, four full length recordings including their unique guest vocalist album Darkest of Angels (EMP Label Group). Their newest self-titled release is also on David Ellefson of Megadeth’s newly revamped Combat Records, a division of EMP. “Dead By Wednesday” is available now online at iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Target, etc. as well as in stores everywhere, including most mom-n-pop indie record shops & all FYE locations distributed by AEC/AMPED. DBW gained a fierce loyal following through relentless years of touring supporting such artists as Shadows Fall, Flotsam & Jetsam, ICP, Raven, P.O.D., Jasta/Hatebreed, to name a few. They’ve played both the Warped Tour & the Mayhem Festival & in rotation on Sirius Liquid Metal radio, Music Choice, Havok TV, MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball, The Music Network, also currently in Touch Tunes, & the video game Rockband. DBW understands the business, they’re easy to work with, professional, & will always put on a highly energetic live & very entertaining show.

The single was produced and mastered by Nick Bellmore (Dee Snider, Jasta) at Dexter's Lab Studios in Milford, CT. and is the first single to feature their new vocalist Steve Alvarez.
